The Lamb

Little Lamb who made theeDost thou know who made theeGave thee life & bid thee feed,By the stream & o'er the mead;Gave thee clothing of delight,Softest clothing wooly bright;Gave thee such a tender voice,Making all the vales rejoice;Little Lamb who made theeDost thou know who made thee

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,Little Lamb I'll tell thee;He is called by thy name,For he calls himself a Lamb:He is meek & he is mild,He became a little child:I a child & thou a lamb,We are called by his name.Little Lamb God bless thee.Little Lamb God bless thee.

Infant Sorrow

by William Blake

My mother groand! my father wept,Into the dangerous world I leapt:Helpless, naked, piping loud:Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
